Creepy Crawly

This guy jumped out from under a rock while I was excavating and managed to run from my hand to my shoulder before I got it off.


I won't lie to you. It scared the $*!# out of me.

That's just monstrous! I've seen some big tarantulas around Tucson, but that just takes the cake! Good thing you survived :)

O- We are glad that you are alive and doing well. That spider is crazy... Keep up the good work and be safe.

dude. is that ruler inches or cm? either way, pass. although your base looks a lot cushier than I imagined. not sure when/how you get the computer access but it's good to hear from you.

That is a freaking big spider! That would top my list of scary things: hairy, jumping spiders. I hope all else is going well!

Damn! At least it didnt get past your shoulder!

Did you eat it afterwards? Just curious--it looks like it might be good...

The scale is in centimeters.

We did not eat it.

It looks suspiciously like it got squished for its fond attentions to you Owen...

Oh, my bad... too much Travel Channel; they seem to try and eat everything on those shows--sort of like 2 year olds...
